Details of transactions and events giving rise to relevant event
Details of the transactions or other events requiring disclosure under the
instructions to this form:
Infratil Limited ("Infratil") and the Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation
have, with effect on and from 28 February 2014, restructured the manner in
which they hold their investment in Z Energy, such that they each have
beneficial control over a 20% interest in Z Energy rather than holding a 40%
interest in Z Energy jointly through an incorporated joint venture (the
"Holding Split").
Prior to the Holding Split, Infratil (through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Infratil Gas Limited ("Infratil Gas")) and NZSF Aotea Limited ("NZSFA") (in
its capacity as manager and administrator of a part of the New Zealand
Superannuation Fund) jointly held beneficial control over 40% of the issued
shares in Z Energy by each holding 50% of the shares in Aotea Energy Holdings
Limited ("AEHL"). AEHL, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, held 100% of
the shares in Aotea Energy Investments Limited ("AEIL") (previously Z Energy
Holdings Limited) which in turn held 40% of the issued shares in Z Energy.
H.R.L Morrison and Co Group Limited ("MCO") (via its wholly-owned
subsidiaries) manages both Infratil and NZSFA's investment in Z Energy
pursuant to investment management agreements.
To effect the Holding Split, the following occurred simultaneously: (i) NZSFA
sold its shares in AEHL (and thereby its beneficial ownership of the shares
in Z Energy held by AEIL) to Infratil Gas and (ii) AEIL sold 50% of the
shares that it held in Z Energy to NZSFA.
Accordingly, each of Infratil and NZSFA have separate control of 20% of the
issued shares in Z Energy. MCO continues to manage both Infratil's
investment and NZSFA's investment in Z Energy, through separate management
agreements with each of them.
